Re: BBC Oval Port Heads ?
Not in the area you requested by arguably the best and many who port today worked for him back in the day....Larry Woodward aka Brandywine Cylinder Head Service in Westchester, PA.
That said, Rich Biebel who posts here worked his magic for years on the cast iron oval port heads that were on my 468 before Larry and Bruce McDowell tweaked them. |

And on those oval port heads I did not have any sophisticated equipment and no flow bench.....just old school experience. And my work was just as fast as extensive work done by Bruce after me....and that was surprising.....

Re: BBC Oval Port Heads ?
Thanks and Happy New Year.
For those interested, that is the truth. No knock on Bruce or Larry who still does porting for me but I did not run .01 quicker or .1 faster after their work which included further intake and exhaust port work, angle milling, valve job and swapping out the 1.88 exhaust valves for tulip valves, which everyone who saw the heads/work including Rich was sure I would. Larry's reputation with cast iron heads and performance achievements are lengendary and his repair work to both cast iron and aluminum heads is second to none.

1. Your reply to this thread in no way helps nor answer's the op's question. 2. this thread ain't about HP, fuel systems, exhaust systems nor my former car that I sold 5 years ago. 3. Rich has forgotten more about porting heads than you have yet learned! 4. My former car has not had a Mallory Comp 140 pump on it since 2006. Further after doubling pump output and increasing the main fuel line from 3/8" to -8, it was worth exactly NOTHING on the time slip. 5. The 3 1/2" exhaust system on my former ride that weighed over 50 lbs. was the 3rd system on this car in 8 years. It was also the least restrictive, killing only 7 hundreds in the 1/4. 6. My heads were flowed before Larry and Bruce touched them, during port development and upon completion. 7. Most important, your only knowledge of my former ride is what you have gleaned over the years reading everyone of my posts. 8. FYI, 3880 lbs. to be exact!
